Kids Mechanic Set

If you have a child fascinated with cars, mechanics, or just fixing things, the car lover's engine repair set is their dream toy. A model of a car’s front end, with a hood that opens and closes, it contains the inner workings of a car with numerous repairable parts that can be mounted and removed and replaced: engine, spark plugs, wing nuts, wheels, radiator grill, and other lifelike car components.

Allows aspiring mechanics to pop the hood, change the oil, tinker with the engine, and even change a tire. Parts can be removed, repaired, and replaced. Children can practice testing the brakes, changing the air filter, and using the dipstick to check the oil levels.

Extra fun features with this toy car engine: steering wheel, battery-operated headlights and horn. Kids can get behind the wheel and turn the ignition key creating different engine starting sounds. Includes all car parts, 3 tools and tool storage area for pretend engine repairs. Also includes an attachable ramp and a storage area for toy cars (car toys not included).

This auto mechanic super set is not only lots of fun but helps develop problem-solving skills and fine motor skills. Very durable.

I must confess, I am biased on this review as I myself am a technician. Bought this for my son, and we decided to put it together for a gift that's ready to play on Christmas morning. My wife had to repeatedly tell me to stop taking things apart, as I had half the car disassembled and was showing no signs of stopping. Virtually every part of the car is a working part, from the individual spark plugs to the fenders. It even has removable wheels to service brake rotors. It does seem battery heavy (requires 8 AAA) but it's worth the cost as it seems to have hours of play and actual learning, something that's missing from most toys.

Great toy for my Grandson. He loves to work on cars and he is enjoying his Christmas gift. Large enough for a 3 year old to explore the world of car engines.

We received the super mechanic set and have put it together, but it is a Christmas present for our 2-1/2 yr old grandson. Know he is going to love this toy - he loves to work on anything with his tools! Some parts look kind of delicate for a child, but he will enjoy this.

I am a foster parent with two special needs foster children. One is 23 months with cerebral palsy and the other is 7 and has significant developmental delays and is blind, etc. It is so exciting to get a catalog filled such great material for them. Kudos to you. I cant wait for it to come!by: Alisa S.

Thank you for making shopping easy by selling so many wonderful toys to choose from!by: Andrew A.

It's truly rare these days that a company not only stands behind its products, but also its customers. I have ordered a number of times from Imagine Toys, and will continue to do so for a long time to come. Everyone I have dealt with, whether through email, chat box, or on the phone, has been so pleasant and accommodating. It truly means a lot. Many thanks,by: Cheryl P.
